    The right to bear arms is "supposed"? The people who shoot up schools aren't necessarily "gun huggers". I notice you seem to have abandoned your proposal for what would be essentially a "poll tax" on firearm ownership by imposing abnormally high insurance rates on innocent people.

    High insurance rates? I thought you loved capitalism.

    Becoming as American as apple pie

    Said before, there are three elements in any shooting; the shooter, the weapon, and the target

    Highly improbable that we will ever be able to do anything about identifying the shooter before it happens, nor do we have any idea what the next target will be, but we do have some control over the weapon utilized, it is all about access, and in the United States we have too easy access to too many guns

    And you better save some of those "prayers and condolences" because it sure as hell is going to happen again
    I am your militia, therefore I have the right to own any weapon I want.

    My solution I've offered umpteen times, and I'll even give you a condensed version again, treat all guns as we do vehicles, they have to be registered and in time reregistered, you need a liscense involving training and a test, liability insurance is required on each weapon, etc.. Create common sense hurdles to weapons that create responsibility

    Anticipating the next question, would it have stopped this shooting, perhaps if it was enacted five years ago, and it doesn't involve confiscating anything nor eliminate the supposed "right" to own a weapon, no right is absolute
    In other words, price and regulate them out of the abilities of the common man.

    And the components too, for those who reload their own.

    Isn't that what's happened with fully automatics?

    And do you consider vehicles to be priced and regulated out of the abilities of the common man? I'll bet you have a car, and it probably cost way more than an Uzi.

    Is it?

    No person has committed a crime with a legally-owned fully automatic weapon since the 1930s, as far as I know.

    Have there been murders committed with illegally-owned fully automatic weapons since then?

    Tell me how effective gun laws are again, will you?

    Yes. Who owns any full autos today? Mostly wealthy people or people who think it’s so important to have one they sacrifice to get one. Oh, and criminals...they find ways to get them as demonstrated in a served search warrant near me a couple weeks ago that resulted in explosions and death.

    Cars are absolutely priced and regulated out of the reach of many folks ... but that’s beside the point. My last two cars each cost more than my house.

    The point is that over regulation and ways to drive up cost (of guns and ammo) is a tactic used by gun control nuts that many of us will fight hard against.

    Not Stephen Paddock, you know, the "good guy with a gun," lots of guns for that matter, who killed 58 and injured over 500?

    You think suspected Antifa shooter Stephen Paddock used a legally-owned fully-automatic weapon?
